As parents, we always look the best for our children. Especially when it comes to provide the nutritious and healthy foods for their growth and brain development. One of the major formula milk manufacturers for range of products that are nutritious and healthy for children in Malaysia is Danone-Dumex. As their vision to always put child's healthy and safety first, Dumex never compromise their commitment on safety and quality issue. Through their 5 + 3 Quality and Safety commitments which have been implemented at their factory, this is to assure all Malaysia parents that Dumex quality and safety process are very stringent and at world class standards. Have you ever wonder on how they produce the milk and handle the quality and safety aspects? If yes, let me give you a tour to their factory to get to know more details on this.

The 5 existing quality commitments which have been implemented over the years as the core quality steps at Dumex factory, including other 3 new extra commitments which just introduced recently. The 5-Steps Quality Assurance Program including Rigorous Testing,  State at the Art of Manufacturing, Extreme Sanitation & Hygiene, Accreditation and Tracebility are very important to ensure that every product produced by Dumex are safe to be consumed by the children and mothers. These including 1000 tests running for every product with every pack will go through the X-ray process to ensure safety and quality always be the no 1. As safety measure, each pack come out from the factory have their individual unique code for easy traceable when any problem related with their products triggered. They also put cleanliness as their first priority at their factory through regularly sanitation and sterilization activity to avoid contamination to their raw materials and also the final products produced there. These quality and safety activities not only certified internally within their management, but also accredited by the recognized bodies. 

 

The 3 extra commitments which newly introduced at Dumex factory which include control of raw material from the suppliers through close monitoring activity to ensure safety and quality achieved, extra commitments to parents through 24/7 careline and also continual innovations to elevate industry standard. These additional steps taken into current quality and safety aspects to ensure that all areas have been effectively monitor.

Through this informative website, at the same time we are educating our selves on the right info and nutritious foods that we should take for our children and specially when we are expecting too.

Sisters-day-out & Nuffnang Premier Screening..

Oh no! Sorry, this is not a fresh story, a 2 weeks delay one >o<

I received a pair of  tickets for Nuffnang Premier Screening - Parental Guidance on 2nd January at e-Curve, Kota Damansara. Got greenlite from Mr Hubs, so I replied a YES to NN. Thot to have a second movie date after The Hobbits a week earlier. But he preferred to stay at home and take care of 2 kids, and asked me to offer my mom. *thanks Mr Hubs for being such a supporting hubby*  Yea...mesti syok kalau dapat tgk dgn my mom jugak, since the movie pun about grandparents - grandchildren story. But my mom pun insisted to help hubby to take care of the 2 boys too. So I took a mak buyong yg tengah sarat to join me for the screening aka Che Mimi. 

Screening started at 9.30pm, but the ticket must be collected 30-45 mins earlier. Since we planned to have dinner there, 6.30 pm dah tolak dari rumah. Kalau nak tahu, Che Mimi is my best sushi-buddy since Mr Hubs tak suka sgt makan sushi. Everytime ajak makan sushi mesti dia ngelat. Until now, I never had chance to dine in at Rakuzen sb selalunya kena reject. Owh =( But pretty sure, I'm not Che Mimi's best sushi -buddy as her family termasuk Nuh pun hantu sushi. He can eat and enjoy the raw salmon like having a bar of choc. Seh! Kagum betul anak Jepun celop ni. But Che Mimi will never ever tolak kalau I ajak makan sushi, maklumlah, syaratnya kena belanja dia. Which actually sgt rugik ok. Mak buyong makan bnyk gila, pitam!

Ok, Bismillah...

Sushi marathon begin...

Told ya..my big damage of the day..

*pitam lagik*

After the sushi eating session *plus the big burppppp*, we immediate headed to e-curve to q up for the tix. For your info, that was my first time joining Premier Screening by Nuffnang. Sebelum ni takde chance memikirkan nak kena tinggal anak kecik semua. At first plan nak bawak Adam sekali, since Adam's first day school started next day, nanti kan tak cukup tidur plak. Next time k =)

Seriously, tak rugi pergi tengok Parental Guidance. Memang kelakar habis. Semua orang pecah perut gelak. Risau jugak tengok mak buyong kat sebelah gelak, karang tetiba nak beranak, padan muka. hahha! Basicly cite ni about the old school grandparents vs the modern-strict-to-follow-what-book-said parents on how to raise the kids. Which sometimes ada yg terkena batang hidung sendiri. Opps! And that parents have to leave their kids to their parents sebab diorang away for outstation. Walaupun gelak2, ada good message yg cuba disampaikan. Plus the ending so touching, nak nangis plak teringat anak2 kat rumah. Overall movie can be rated at 4/5 stars.  A must watch movie. Sure tak bosan =)

Kan Che Mimi??

Whatever it is, tq so much Nuffnang for the free tickets!

We really enjoyed the movie so much!

***********************************************************

Synopsis of Parental Guidance

All the household rules are thrown out when a pair of fun grandparents babysit their grandkids for the first time when their strict parents are away for work.

With comedy legends Billy Crystal and Bette Midler playing Artie the grumpy grandpa and Diane the overenthusiastic grandma, we’re sure hilarious moments of familial love are bound to ensue!

SUMMARY

Parental Guidance movie follows the story of old school grandfather Artie, who is accustomed to calling the shots and who meets his match when he and his eager-to-please wife Diane agree to babysit their 3 grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents go away for work. But when 21st century problems collide with Artie and Diane’s old school methods of tough rules, lots of love and old-fashioned games, it’s learning to bend – and not holding your ground – that binds a family together.

Happy watching!

School of Tomorrow : Empowering Lifelong Learners

*48-hours sticky post. Scroll down for more update*

School holiday has just started. Children as well as their parents are all in fabulous holiday mood. But those parents who have 4 - 6 years old kids who will start the pre school session next year or 7 years old student for elementary/primary school, we are so busy for these 2 months, right? For pre-school session specially *as I am one from them*, there are still parents who still not yet decided which school to enroll their little munchkins while those who are already decided, its about time to attend the school open day, getting to know about the program, the teachers, fee structure and so on. Agreed, it’s not an easy decision. One of the most difficult decisions parents will face at some time is which school to choose for their child. There are many factors to be considered. I’ve gone through this stage *kindy hunting mode entry*, though its kind of tiring things to do *googling the website, make call, pay visit, listen to their program and repeat again for another possible pre-school so on and so on* but it’s actually fun thing at the end of the journey.

*picture courtesy of google image*

Back to why we are doing this? As parents, since we know that the child will spend the most 12 hours at school *for working parents specially*, so we are looking a place where my child can have a fun learning. Besides factors like Islamic based environment, a comprehensive program with conducive learning environment, learning in English medium is one of the factors.

A conducive learning environment ..

*picture courtesy of google image*

In Malaysia, English is not simply the second language, it is one of several. Striking the right balance between the undeniable need to stay true to the country’s tradition and heritage, while at the same time recognizing the status of English as an international means of communication, is crucial.  Malaysia is moving towards its goal of developed nation status and the success of this transition is dependent on the strengthening of the foundations of its economy and society. The government is now taking rigorous steps to meet the challenges of the competitive global market encompassing all aspects of the educational spectrum, from access to basic education, professional development for teachers, leadership management, to school improvement, the initiatives firmly embrace the responsibility to support and equip students and teachers alike with the skills and knowledge to become responsible and productive citizens who will provide the momentum for the transformation.

The issue that every country (whether developing or developed) faces today is how to prepare children and adults alike for the future.  In this rapidly globalizing and knowledge-driven world of work, anyone who is an innovative and creative thinker, open to new ideas and the vast opportunities for bettering themselves, is ahead of the game.  Being a lifelong learner is no longer an option, but it is a necessity. The key to being a lifelong learner is curiosity. The foundations for lifelong learning are in the early stages of education where children can be inspired to become enthusiastic learners. Early years education needs to be truly holistic, engaging children in stimulating and challenging experiences in the context of their physical and social surroundings, and recognizing that children are capable initiators of their own learning. A high quality early childhood program that encourages active learning, problem solving, effective communication, creativity, social adjustment and participation has huge significance for their longer-term success in education and as future citizens.

The experience in schools is a way for children to develop relationships or organize and make sense of their world, and they bring to it diverse background experiences, developing identities and perceptions about their own and others’ social and cultural experiences. Even on a basic level, they draw on their own experiences and perceptions of others to create contexts in which to play and their own experimentation and exploration has to be recognized as their personal voyage of discovery. With experience and encouragement, this basic interaction changes as they become more socially and intellectually complex and make the transition to being adept and independent individuals.

Speaking of which, the spirit of these initiatives is embodied in a major School of Tomorrow (SOT) Conference which will be held in Kuala Lumpur from 20^th – 21^st November 2012. Organized by the Beaconhouse Group, the event will use plenary and groundbreaker sessions as well as workshops to focus on innovative approaches and methods for early childhood and primary education.

This conference is the fourth in a series of SOT conferences that has brought together scholars, educationists, classroom practitioners, policy makers and experienced professionals to re-examine conventional beliefs of what constitutes progressive teaching and learning. The 2012 conference, being held for the first time in Kuala Lumpur, takes these themes a step further and also considers ways to empower lifelong learners. To empower a lifelong learner is to facilitate and enable their learning opportunities and to encourage them to manage their own learning. To create such a learning culture requires changing people’s perceptions of what learning is and how it can change their lives with the overarching aim of increasing individual capacity. The 2 days conference which will be delivered through plenary sessions, interactive workshops and panel discussions will be discussing on three main streams:

Top international educationists at the forefront of their fields will be congregating in Kuala Lumpur to lead, conduct and facilitate sessions at an upcoming major educational conference, including Professor Alma Harris, Dr Heather Terrill Stotts, Professor Kathryn Riley, and Dr Christine Wise, all of whom are internationally recognized for their work on school improvement and leadership and management. Several specialists including Gigi Schweikert, Pamela Mundy, Ayesha Kasuri and Saira Butt will be leading sessions on early childhood and primary education while the prominent among the presenters is keynote speaker Richard Gerver whose speech in 2010 was the highlight of the conference. He is also the author of the best-seller ‘Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today’.

2010 School of Tomorrow Conference..

Workshop delivered by leading educationists and thinkers..

At the end of the conference, the target to focus particularly on ways of improving the overall educational experience of children in the context of a rapidly globalizing and increasingly competitive world and to empower lifelong learners will be achieved and benefits all of our educationist and participants generally.
